    cant say without pictures, my first inkling is why fix anything, just drive it like it is if you can.

    if you do body work you need a paint job, if you need a paint job then you need to fix everything so its a snowball effect where its often better to beat out the dents so nothing rubs or falls off and it goes down the road straight and tell yourself "its a truck, its not supposed to be pretty"

    pictures tell the whole story so lets see how bad it is before we can advise you.
